November Migration Report

November 7th marked
the final appearance for my beloved waterfowl at Bon Bon Pond.The temps turned cold enough to freeze the water so the resident geese
and ducks have moved to a larger area lake that is still open
where they have rendezvoused with about ten Trumpeter Swans.

The photo below was taken
from my kitchen window while I was standing on a chair.I hoped the downward trajectory would minimize
the distortion from the screen.If I had
ventured outside for a closer snap, I would have startled the flock.I love my birds but I never try and make them
pets.It is in their best interest to
have a healthy fear of man as they have few protections this time of year in
Minnesota.
